OBSTACLES To SUCCESS.

Mr.. Watkins, New York bust
ness man, delivered very sensible
address to young men in !. M. c. A.
Hall last evening. The title of his
address was why So Many Young
Men Remain at the Bottom of the
Ladder" and it proved to be no
catch-penny title, as the titles to SO
many Of our sermons are.
The obstacles to young mems as
cent Of the commercial ladder were
said oy Mr.. Watkins to be lack of
grit and self-reliance, want and t.
deity, the spirit of unrest and love
of change, and also lack of ambition
and steady purpose.
There is good deal of truth in
this. Mr.. Watkins, however, con-
siders the fourth reason as the
greatest. We think the second is.
Want of fidelity is the most con-
spicuous failing of the boy and
young man OF today. We use the
term as Mr.. Watkins used it. We
mean by lack Of fidelity, not petty
thefts or active dishonesty, but
inattention to duty, failure to
guard an employers interests,
indifference to the success of an
employers business so long as the
young man himself loses nothing.
In other words, the youth and
young man of the day does no more
work than he is compelled to do,
thinks himself smarter the more he
can esade his duty, deems all who
do otherwise as fools for their
pains, has NO esprit de corps. Of
course, our political system ditfuses
q spirit of unrest that necessarily
affects the young men OF the
country, and there will always be a
certain number of unreliant and
cowardly young men. But even
restlessness and timidity will not
keep back the man who is recog-
nized as faithful, who is as attentive
to business out Of his employers
ken as within it, and who does
work wherever he finds it or
recognizes its necessity, whether
he has orders or not, and
whether the fact of his doing the
work is likely to be known or re-
main unknown. That trait In a
young mats character carries him
up the ladder, to the surprise OF
brighter and more ambitious CON-
panions, who woader what there is
in him" to Justify bis elevation

Both the Senate and House ex-
pect to attack the Presidents veto
of the dependent Pension bill.
There is some doubt, however,
about their ability to override it as
the Democrats of both branches
will now probably present an an
broken front in support Of it. The
bill PASSED both Houses by more
than a two-thirds majority, but
some of the Democrats confess to
having weakened since then. Some
say they voted for the bill against
their conviction, and others that
the Presidents veto message cen.
yerted them.
Many Of the best Informed mem
bers of Congress think now thai
there will be no extra session
Nothing, they say, but failure te
pass the regular appropriations
would necessitate an extra session
and they will get through in good

lievsd, bring about an extra ses.
